As she held Cherryblossoms's right hand, the girl who looked like a child's version of Kali also looked worriedly at the youth who was stubbornly following behind her. She, who was always afraid of strangers, mustered her courage and said weakly, "Big Brother, go back. Mommy and Granny hate humans."
Shi Xiaobai lowered his head to look at the girl. His gaze was gentle as he silently shook his head.
The first time he met Kali, Kali had claimed that she was a pixie that protected the World Holy Tree ten thousand years ago. And just now, the girl had also said that she was a pixie that protected the World Holy Tree. Furthermore, the girl's facial features were nearly identical to Kali's. Her name was also 'Kali', making her a pixie as well.
With so many coincidences overlapping, it was no longer a coincidence.
"This King has probably transmigrated to ten thousand years in the past."
Shi Xiaobai came to such a ridiculous conclusion.
However, there was no evidence for this conclusion. Shi Xiaobai needed to find evidence to prove that he had indeed transmigrated ten thousand years into the past.
Most importantly, he had to find a way to return to his original world.
This was the first time Shi Xiaobai had transmigrated from Earth to another world, so he did not have much nostalgia or reluctance. The only regret he had was that he could not see Yang Wei again.
However, Shi Xiaobai found it hard to accept his sudden transmigration. In that world where heroes were everywhere, he had met Kali, Dawn Li, Sunless, Pear, Speechless, Mu Yuesheng, Mozzie, Mu Lengxi, Pulp Farmer, Liu Yu, Feng Yuanlin. There were too many people he cared for and too many unforgettable experiences.
Shi Xiaobai's desire to return was extremely intense.
However, since he had transmigrated to a point where the apocalypse had yet to appear, the World Holy Tree had yet to be destroyed, the pixie race had yet to be wiped out, and Kali was still an innocent and carefree little girl, Shi Xiaobai had a nagging feeling that he was shouldering an unknown mission.
"Perhaps this world is waiting for This King to save it."
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai was even more determined to meet the 'World Holy Tree'. From the conversation between Kali and the Infernal Queen, he could vaguely guess that the 'World Holy Tree' was one of the strongest existences in the world. After all, Kali was already so powerful just from obtaining the World Holy Tree's heritage.
"Human!"
Suddenly, a panicked shout rang out in front of them!
"Beep! Beep! Beep! "
The pixie sentry guarding the city gate discovered Shi Xiaobai and hurriedly blew its siren. Following that, when it saw the pixie girl and the loli behind the youth, its expression changed drastically. As though the sky was collapsing, it screamed towards the bottom of the city wall, "Human! The human kidnapped the little princess! "
Boom!
The guards within the city wall were in an uproar. In an instant, all of them were mobilized. The archers quickly rushed to the high platform and raised countless bows and arrows. Like a pair of cold eyes, they accurately and coldly aimed at the youth in the distance.
The sword-wielding guards rushed out of the city gate like a tide. A blond elf wearing crimson armor and holding a silver spear was at the forefront. Even when the guards stopped to adjust their formation, the blond elf still rushed forward!
"Captain Hongyue!"
Cherryblossoms' expression changed as she shouted at Shi Xiaobai, "Run!"
Hongyue was the captain of the guardian team. She was extremely powerful and was the strongest among the younger generation of the pixies. From Cherryblossoms' point of view, although Shi Xiaobai was powerful, he was definitely not Captain Hongyue's match.
Furthermore, Captain Hongyue's hatred for humans far exceeded that of the other pixies. A few years ago, Hongyue's younger sister had been captured by humans when she was out. She was sold by slave merchants to human nobles and was subjected to humiliation. When Hongyue finally rescued her sister from the hands of the human nobles, she saw a pair of hollow eyes that resembled that of a walking corpse. A few days after she was rescued, her sister chose to commit suicide.
Hongyue viewed humans as her lifelong enemy. Now, seeing a human dare appear in the territory of the pixies, she had long lost her mind from anger!
"Human!"
Hongyue's eyes were bloodshot as she charged at Shi Xiaobai with an angry roar. Her sharp spear was filled with killing intent!
"Captain! Quickly stop! "
The vice-captain, who was standing on a high platform and commanding, hurriedly shouted, "The little princess is still in the human's hands! You will kill the little princess by charging in like that! "
Perhaps it was because she heard the vice-captain's shout, or perhaps it was because the little princess's adorable face appeared in her reddened eyes, but calmness finally returned to the young captain's mind. Hongyue came to a sudden halt and stopped twenty meters away.
"Despicable human!"
Hongyue glared angrily at Shi Xiaobai as she gritted her teeth. Her eyes were filled with killing intent and hatred.
When Cherryblossoms saw this, she hurriedly explained, "He didn't kidnap us. He doesn't seem like a bad person …"
Cherryblossoms' voice gradually weakened because Hongyue's eyes were just too terrifying. Thinking back to Hongyue's sister's ordeal, Cherryblossoms felt helpless and guilty to convince Hongyue that the human in front of her was not a bad person.
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly. From little Kali and Cherryblossoms' actions, he already knew that the pixies were extremely repulsed by humans. But now, when he saw Hongyue's eyes, he realized that it was not as simple as repulsion. The eyes that were filled with deep hatred had long surpassed the realm of repulsion.
It was a gaze that was drowned in hatred.
This was not a hatred that could be easily resolved with words.
Shi Xiaobai realized that he had no way of using words to convince her that he had no ill intentions. The hatred the pixies had for humans exceeded his imagination. Forcefully barging into the territory of the pixies was not his intention either. Shi Xiaobai wished to meet the World Holy Tree, but not as an enemy.
"Go back first."
Shi Xiaobai turned to whisper to Cherryblossoms and little Kali.
Cherryblossoms' mind was in a mess as she subconsciously shook her head. She whispered, "The moment we leave, the guards will take action! It's best you leave quickly! "
Shi Xiaobai whispered, "If you don't leave, wouldn't This King's crime of kidnapping you as hostages be a fact?"
Cherryblossoms was rendered speechless. She had a nagging feeling that what he said made sense, but she also found it odd.
Shi Xiaobai said confidently, "There's no need to worry. If This King wishes to leave, this bit of entourage won't be able to hold This King back."
Hmph, where does a Postnatal realm like you get your confidence from!?
Cherryblossoms wanted to lampoon, but recalling how she had been beaten up by the youth despite being at the Connate Beyonder realm, she could only swallow her words.
"Then, shall we leave?" Cherryblossoms whispered.
Shi Xiaobai nodded.
"You should leave quickly as well. The pixies do not welcome humans, even if you are really a good person."
Cherryblossoms gave Shi Xiaobai a deep, penetrating glance before pulling little Kali towards the guards.
When the guards saw this, they exclaimed in surprise. Following that, they became highly focused. Although they could not understand why the human would suddenly release the hostages, they could not relax at such times. Humans were the most despicable and cunning creatures in the world. The pixies knew this very well.
A look of surprise flashed in Hongyue's eyes, but it quickly turned cold. She refused to believe that humans would have good intentions.
"This human isn't a bad person!"
Cherryblossoms raised her hands high and shouted at the guards, "He did not harm us, nor did he kidnap us. All he did was send us home!"
Little Kali, who was afraid of strangers, did not dare shout in front of so many people. All she could do was nod like a chick pecking at grains. She looked extremely adorable.
The guards immediately began whispering. The princess and Cherryblossoms were defending the human. Could it be that there were good people among humans?
When Cherryblossoms and little Kali walked past Captain Hongyue and into the guards' formation, the pixies felt as though a boulder had been lifted from their hearts. They heaved a sigh of relief as the hostility in the guards' eyes lessened.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Shi Xiaobai opened his mouth to explain that he had no ill intentions.
However, before he could say a word, a cold voice suddenly boomed.
The deputy captain standing on the platform suddenly ordered the archer team coldly, "Shoot!"
